Hi Hiren and many thanks for the reply.

I’m using both the latest version of FreeBSD 9.2 and 10.

No errors in logs as the system suddenly dumps and reboots uncleanly.  However 
I’ll look to enable crash dumps on these particular systems.

I’ll look into enabling that.  I don’t think any one in tech has the luxury of 
saying “I don’t know” and instead must say “I’ll look into that” :)

I was first made aware of this issue using FreeNAS and figured to test the 
upstream providers warez so to speak.  The problem persists as I expected and 
do have there crash dumps, just not FreeBSDs crash dumps.

Something about tripping an assert.  I don’t think FreeNAS can do much about it 
as the problem lies in the FreeBSD Solarflare driver.  Kind of kicking myself 
with going bleeding edge on the NIC but the Solarflare sounded soo good on 
paper.

I would say that if the drivers in FreeBSD were as mature as Intel, then 
Solarflare for the win for sure.  But its all about the drivers.
